Parents were able to tour the school during the day to watch pupils learn in their normal environment – an opportunity to enjoy the experience in a truly authentic way.

In the evening, pupils and staff welcomed families again to enjoy activities taking place across an impressive array of subject areas – including science experiments in the state-of-the-art science facility, trying out instruments in music, getting creative in food technology and challenges for all in physical education.
